Best Options for Making a Fashion Statement

Deciding the best way to make a fashion statement can be relatively easy if you’re a woman. After all, most women are accustomed to thinking about what clothes and accessories are currently popular and which styles will look best on them. The decision may not be as easy for men. Although some men are certainly more fashion-conscious than others, men for the most part don’t usually pay a lot of attention to which styles are currently popular. Instead, most guys opt for clothes and shoes that are comfortable. While comfort is certainly important, there are other factors to consider as well. 

If you’re a man who’s looking for the best ways to make a fashion statement with your appearance, the first step in the process is to be sure you’re making the best wardrobe choices. The next step is to select a hairstyle – with or without facial hair – that is most flattering. Finally, accessories are a great way to add a little extra style to your overall appearance without paying a fortune to do it. 

• Wardrobe: When you’re deciding what style of clothing to buy, the most important thing to consider is what looks best for your build. You may be trying to make a fashion statement, but you’ll always fall short of your goal if the clothes you’re wearing don’t optimize your strong points and minimize your weak ones. For example, if you’re heavyset, try to avoid colors and patterns that are too bright or too busy since these can make you appear larger than you are. Instead, choose colors that are somewhat more subdued. If you really want to appear much slimmer than you are, an outfit that is monochrome – all one color – will work wonders. If you’re more slightly built and would like to appear to have a larger physique, try wide leg trousers or pleated slacks and sports coats or blazers with substantial shoulder pads. Only buy clothes that fit you well and are comfortable. Whatever outfits you choose, always make sure that your clothes are clean and neatly pressed.

• Hair: When it comes to men’s hairstyles, almost anything goes in current fashion. This is excellent news since it means that you can feel completely free to choose whatever hairstyle looks good on you, whether it’s long, short or anyplace in between. Go to a good hairstylist or barber to help you decide what will work best for your hair type and what style will be most flattering on your face shape. The same holds true for facial hair. Current men’s fashion includes men who wear beards, goatees and sideburns, as well as those men who prefer no facial hair whatsoever. Talk to your hairstylist or barber to decide what looks best on you, and then go for it!

• Accessories: Never underestimate what a difference the right accessories can make in your overall appearance and style. Jewelry for men is more in vogue now than ever before, and some of the most popular pieces are stainless steel pendants. If you have any doubt about how fashionable men’s jewelry is, just think about how many male celebrities are wearing all types of jewelry – and often many pieces at the same time! Some of the most popular choices are made of contemporary materials, such as titanium, tungsten carbide and stainless steel pendants. You’ll find a huge variety from which to choose, so be sure that whatever jewelry you select is a true reflection of your individual taste and style. You may think of jewelry as more of an accessory for women, but you’ll be pleasantly surprised by the wide selection of truly masculine styles. When it comes to stainless steel pendants, for example, consider a popular dag tag style pendant with a decorative cross design.

Making a fashion statement of your own is really just a matter of choosing the right clothing, hairstyle and accessories that will help you to look your best. Remember that the most fashionable man of all is the one who feels confident and knows he is putting his best foot forward.
